Problem with Betrive

Hello,

I have unusual problem. We use software named "ATTANDANCE PRO" that is running on a betrieve type database. I have been asked to move this database from Novell server to the Samba (CIFS) share on HP-UX11i. I have created share in smb.conf (see attached file). However, when user try to access the data from the local machine (Win2000Pro), they are getting the Betrieve 20 error massage. If I add user to the ntadmin group (see attached file) they are connecting with no problem. Any suggestion will be appreciate.

Re: Problem with Betrive

Thank you for reply. I'm sorry for not giving you better information, but we do have domain set up (see attached file). That where the problem is because if the user is not member of "domain admin group = @ntadmin" and just a member of "valid users = @timeclk" (again see attached file), the user is getting brieve error.

Hi

GID is the group ID which is a numerical value which cross refences to a alphanumeric name for a group. eg myusers may have a group id = 40 . The GID is what programs use not the descriptive name and you need to have the same GID on both the NT and the UNIX end to sync :-)

Re: Problem with Betrive

Thank you for responed. I know that my GID in a unix is 104 (timeclk::104:jla,lfi,mvr,csc,hwi,mwa,ada,vbe,cdu,cma,spl,bel,ced,bkj,mlo,dmi) but where do I check GID in windows? Do I have to have a same group in a windows as well? If I do, do I need to do that on a each workstation (we don't have windows server as a member of domain)?
